Why Does Warm Air Rise and Cold Air Sink?

Why Does Warm Air Rise and Cold Air Sink? Buoyancy and Archimedes' principle explain why warm air rises and cold air sinks. Archimedes' principle follows from the hydrostatic pressure in a liquid or a gas, as I show in this video. The rising of warm and the sinking of cold air play a mayor role in weather systems.
